502 bad gateway

[QUOTE=JackADogov;7378411]I'm using Firefox on a PC and I found a solution that works for me. Just update your bookmark for this site from [URL]www.usasexguide.nl[/URL] to [URL]http://www.usasexguide.nl[/URL].[/QUOTE]Thank you very much! I concur this method works in Firefox for PC if you manually switch to http. I suspect something wonky with the SSL certificate.

DuckDuckGo WAS working on the PC yesterday but that stopped today.

Chrome still works on iPad. Not sure on iPhone.

As a side note since everything is going via http and not https, nothing is secured. I suggest changing your password when the admin fixes the server side issue.

This also worked on my Samsung phone using Firefox.

I know the site has problems with attacks a while ago, and they started using cloudfare or something similar to fix it. Hopefully they find a similar solution soon. Because I'd bet most people aren't troubleshooting deep enough to find solutions like the Firefox workaround.

I access this site mostly via my shitty Windows PC with the Edge browser, but on occasion I would like access it via my iPhone with the Safari browser. To access the site via Windows Edge, I need to use the HTTP not secure connection. I don't understand why that is, but I have lived with it. To keep Edge from automatically doing a redirect to HTTPS, I did recently need to turn off this Edge browser security setting: "Automatically switch to more secure connections with Automatic HTTPS". For security, I would prefer not to do this so If someone knows of a better solution let me know.

As for my iPhone safari browser, it looks like one of Apple's recent updates started triggering the 502 Bad Gateway issue. It now appears to me that Safari is redirecting all HTTP connections to HTTPs. Anyone know of a setting to turn this feature off on Safari?

Just curious also, does anyone access this site via an HTTPS connection and with what browser? Thanks.

When I enter my username and password on my phone and hit Log In, my password disappears and I can't get in.

Had trouble seeing the site via DuckDuckGo, edge, and even chrome. Switched over to Firefox and I now see the site and actually logged in for the first time in about a week.

I'm not 100% sure on the iPhone but I suspect it's similar to iPad. Safari doesn't work for me but Chrome works fine without https.

And agreed, you wouldn't want to login without https. I'm definitely planning on changing my password when https is working again.

I can view the site, but can't log in to respond or click on any pictures as the login and password disappear. Chrome on my office computer (which I am on now) works fine for now.

Since Safari and Chrome doesn't work, I would try other browsers e. G. Opera, FireFox, DuckDuckGo, etc. And see what sticks.

I fully type the link as [URL]http://usasexguide.nl[/URL]. However, if I use auto-fill when typing, make it a bookmark, or click on this link while on my iPhone, they all fail with Bad Gateway. All those attempts want to redirect to https. Not sure why the site does not seem to support https. Maybe has to do with all the DDOS attacks.

Trying to dig into it some more (on the server side) The SSL checks are mostly good with the exception of TLS (server is supporting 1. 1) so I'm going to put a wild guess that most newer browsers are now flat out rejecting this due to its known security vulnerabilities

I'm going to guess if the server disable TLS 1. 1 (since it does support 1. 3) it should be good. Still not sure the root cause as it's been working OK till recently.

I had no issues using Firefox on my Windows PC, but after a discussion with a local, I went through some steps to trigger this problem for myself in Chrome (on Windows and Android). Ultimately, came to the conclusion a VPN worked for Chrome sometimes. However, I revisited one of the ideas I had searched earlier and there is a much simpler way of dealing with it on both Windows and Android Chrome (can't and won't test on IOS).

Basically use this flag.

chrome://flags/#unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure

Relaunch browser after changing this and then directly enter [URL]http://www.usasexguide.nl[/URL] . Without doing both of these steps, at least on my device, Chrome will add the http [B]s[/B] part and even when you remove the 's', it will continue to re-add it again and again. Likely the reason my past attempts failed at making it work earlier.

And while I have no particular reason to check all browsers, I do have Edge so checked it there since it is also Chromium behind the scenes and the same process works (just use edge://flags/ instead).

Thank you. After not being able to access site for 2 weeks, I was able to use it today. I didn't make any changes but I'll keep these suggestions in my files.

I'm getting the error on all browsers on my phone and PC. Firefox is the only one I've been able to get on, after forcing it to not use https for this site, which is really not a good thing.
